I spent a good amount of my summer vacation in Cesme Alacati. Alacati is a perfect place for women. Beads-jewelry shops, fancy cafes, cool Portofinolike Italian-like Turkish boutiques selling designs, coolest kimonos for the beach, caftans, posh taverns for women ... Everything there made for women. I got obsessed with the jewelry stores there. Last summer, I visited first Copenhagen + Aarhus and then the French Riviera, France, Spain, Italy, Monaco Monte Carlo ... there were very cool boutiques in Portofino, but not enough jewelry sellers like I found in Alaçatı. Alacatı boutiques are quite expensive, but I liked them all. All the things I bought from Alaçatı- during my stay- are good investments. I'd get snow and memories stayed with me. I wish I had bought more because my jewelry taste is a snob (OMG I’m jewelry snob!!! ).

All styled outfits without Jewelry look like deserted islands to me. First rule of Styling: jewelry. Rachel Zoe says the more the better/ more huge the better for jewelry. Right now she’s on vacation in Italy on the Amalfi Coast (yes!) . I read her(Rachel Zoe) first released book as I’m back from my holiday that I bought from Amazon dot com. She sports great Italian holiday style. I would suggest you to follow her holiday style from her instagram. Back to her jewelry picks - For example, Rachel Zoe loves jewelry in gold tones .She loves vintage Chanel jewelry. My taste of styling: I love using the summer colors for jewelry during summer like Italian women. The most prominent feature in my own style, made of natural stone jewelry – bracelets in shades of orange, gold, blue, red ... styling the coin necklace - made of a mixture of copper-silver necklaces. I love designer jewelry and buying- collecting designer pieces. My summer jewelry is definetly much more different than what ı use as my winter jewelry. I love dressing in dark colors for winter and vibrant colours + prints for summers. I love using bracelets, cuffs and necklaces as my daily jewelry. My mind is stuck in Alacatı jewelry shops. Here I share the images of my jewelry that I bought from Alacati. I love my jewelry.
